Akhenaten Lyrics by Julian Cope

Jehovahkill

1992

[Verse 1]
In the dawn's early light
I went out to the sun
I saw the sun rise over the land
I stretched my arms way out

[Verse 2]
Feeling the sun rays hitting my eyes
And I felt way out
I held my body in the shape of a cross
I was hypnotized

[Verse 3]
These were brand new feelings for me
Feeling my body in the shape of a cross
Feeling my body in the shape of a cross
And trying hard not to freak out

[Verse 4]
This is the lesson I've learned
I'm not afraid of the cross
And now whenever the sun shines
I stretch my arms way out

[Refrain]
I stretch my arms way out
I stretch my arms way out
I stretch my arms way out
I stretch my arms way out
I stretch my arms way out
